chapter two

Arthur woke up the next day to find that he was in a completely different room, and he began to panic and think about what had happened, why he was not at home. Then he remembered, his eyes widened, and he remembered the catastrophic mistake that had occurred.

He swallowed hard, turned his head, and found her sleeping quietly next to him.

She looked like a painted painting, with the rays of the sun falling on her very white skin.

Arthur realized that he and this woman were not wearing any clothes.

He tried to get up carefully so as not to wake her up, as he blamed himself for his action.

He has never cheated on Molly in his entire life, as Molly is his first love and the love of his life.

There was no other woman in his life except her.

He never woke up next to a woman other than Molly, but now he is cheating on her.

He felt extremely guilty and suddenly the woman next to him woke up and looked at him with signs of remorse on her face and said, "Arthur."

Arthur did not answer and continued to get dressed. The woman said to him, "Why don't you answer me?"

Her voice was very calm and had no sign of panic like Arthur and the woman continued, "You feel guilty for Molly too, don't you?" And here Arthur looked at her.

He said angrily, "Don't say her name on your tongue. Do you understand?"

And here the woman shouted at him, "Don't talk to me like that, Mr. Weasley. I know that what we did was a big mistake, and I feel as guilty as you do, but the mistake is not just mine. I'm not the only one guilty here."

Here Arthur turned his face away from her and put on his clothes, and the woman spoke in a less harsh tone, "Arthur, what happened will not happen again."

Arthur shouted, "It will definitely not happen again."

She said, "If you are going to confess to Molly, then keep my identity a secret , I will not be able to face her."

Arthur signed, the confession to Molly how he was going to do this. He couldn't believe what he had done in the first place.

The woman got out of bed and put on a bathrobe and walked to him. She tried to put her hand on his shoulder but decided not to do so.

She looked at him in the eyes with sincere sympathy and said, "I'm so sorry for what happened, Arthur. I didn't want this to be the end of last night, and I know you're like me, too."

Arthur exhaled sadly and said to her, "I'm sorry for yelling at you. I think our friendship will stop here, Minerva. I haven't been able to see you for a while ,I will remember what happened. I don't blame you , I'm the one who allowed what happened in the first place."

Minerva shook her head in understanding (Yes, Minerva McGonagall , the Transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts and currently the headmistress)

Arthur finished getting dressed and left the room.

Arthur left the house in shock at what had happened and feeling guilty for what he had done to Molly.

The decision to confess to Molly what happened, but how will he do this and will Molly forgive him?

He had never been in a situation like this before. His relationship with Molly was perfect. They endured all the misfortunes together. How would he tell his soul mate, his life partner and his first and last love, that he had cheated on her with his girlfriend and the children's teacher, whom they loved and respected so much?

Arthur returned to the Burrow, and on his way back, he was thinking about whether to confess to Molly or postpone the matter? What will he tell her about his absence last night? .

The burrow entered through the back door leading to the kitchen and found Molly sleeping in a chair with her head resting on the kitchen table.

He felt a wave of bitterness and sadness, she was waiting for him , She even fell asleep while waiting in the chair.

He felt tears filling his eyes, and here he decided to postpone confessing to her for currently .

He went to the sink to wash his face and thought of an excuse to justify his sleep outside the house yesterday, and when the cold water touched his face, he heard Molly's voice behind him saying, "Arthur, my dear, thank God, I've been worried about you a lot. Where were you yesterday? Are you okay?"

Arthur smiled and went to Molly and kissed her on the head and hugged her, and immediately her familiar scent invaded his nostrils, the scent that made him feel loved, safe, comfortable, and at home.

He held back his tears so they wouldn't fall and said to her with a reproach mixed with softness and emotion, "Mollywobbles, why did you sleep in the chair? Your back will hurt all day. Don't sleep like this again. The dark days are over."

He smiled at her and continued, "Don't worry, my dear. I was working in the office and fell asleep."

Molly replied, holding his hand tenderly, "Arthur, why do you always tire yourself out at work? The children have grown up. We no longer need money as badly as in the past. Don't be so hard on yourself, my dear."

Molly went to the stove, lit it, placed a cauldron full of soup on it, and began working on a double portion meal for her dear husband, Arthur.

Molly said, "Come to have some food. You must be starving, my dear , Don't work late again."

Arthur wasn't sure if he could eat in this state, he was trying to act as normal as possible.

He said to her, "Molly, I don't want to eat anything, I just want to lie down and sleep."

Molly sensed sadness and pain in Arthur's voice and said to him, "What's wrong? Are you sick? Has something happened? Arthur, tell me, don't hide anything from me. What's wrong? do we go to St. Mungo's?"

Arthur replied and tried to put on a reassuring smile as much as he could, "Molly, my dear, don't worry. Sleeping on the desk was just not fun. I want to straighten my body, as it was stiff from sleeping on the desk last night."

Molly said, "Okay, my dear Arthur, go and get some rest, and when you wake up, eat, but have a warm bath first to relax your muscles. I will go prepare the bathroom for you."

Arthur remained standing in the kitchen alone.

He exhaled a long breath, he wasn't good at lying to Molly.

He will hide his betrayal from her for some time. Fortunately for him, Molly was tired from waiting for him all night, so she did not reveal his lie, but what then?

He decided to rest now and get some sleep.

In one of the houses in the village of Hogsmeade, in the living room there was a woman pacing back and forth, resembling a caged female lion. She was thinking and thinking and talking to herself.

"What did you do, Minerva? How could this happen? How old were you to make this mistake? What would your parents say about this?" This did not happen when she was a teenager full of youthful hormones. So how could she allow this when she was in her early fifties?

She settled in an armchair, thinking.

The study at Hogwarts will begin tomorrow for the year 1999, and she should be there to put the finishing touches and give instructions. After all, she is the headmaster, but instead, here she is at home, continuing to replay what happened yesterday in her head over and over again.

He exhaled a long breath , What is the use of repeating thinking about what happened , This did not change anything. She decided to stop thinking about this at least until the first day of September ends and you receive the new academic year at Hogwarts..

So she got up from the chair and went to the door of the house and took her cloak and put it on, along with the hat, so she must go to Hogwarts, because there is a school that she must run.

This is the first story I write, if anyone has any advice, please send it to me.

I want to know your opinion on the story too.

Thank you for reading the story so far.

Note: Minerva's age in this story is approximately the mid-fifties, so her date of birth is October 4, 1945, which makes her five years older than Arthur.
